for the snow armydog ; paint the undergroung matt white , then make a mixture of bakingsoda+water+white glue (i used woodglue but i guess you known it better as elmers glue) then just brush it over the ground. just need a bit more experiment with the ratio water/gleu (it was a bit thick Tongue [:P]

) in real the snow sparkel a bit ,don't show in the pic. so mush) if you want more frozen snow just brush wen it dry another layer of gleu/water on top of it.
frostygirl the kit comes nicely together only needed a bit of filling between the top and lower bodyhalves and a bit of detailing (found not a lot of pic.on the net of this one Sad [:(]

just placed the machinegun on a pole ofcentre the coppula and repositioned the ammobox, and be carefull with the tracks (there are no extratracklinks Disapprove [V]

)

honestly I have ta say, nice lookin build for that little revell...
In fact, considering the recent history of russian tanks, you could probably sell it to someone and it would be just as effective as the real Mcoy......
